This paper investigates how the possibility to ostracize, which is a familiar punishment mechanism to subjects in an experiment, affects harvest in a common pool resource experiment. The experiment was framed as a fishing problem and the subjects were young fishers. We find that the introduction of the possibility to...
The result of changes in regulation or monitoring and enforcement of commercial fisheries are highly dependent on fishers’ supply response decisions. One central determinant of fishers’ reactions to such changes is their risk preferences. Empirical studies of fishers’ preferences have found that most fishers are risk averse. In this paper,...
Studies on compliance with fishing regulations have looked at fishery crimes for which the offender faces a one-period
decision problem of maximizing an expected utility. Moreover, the returns to the crimes are uncertain
because the offender may lose them if caught. This paper extends these models by considering a fishery...
To increase the knowledge needed to successfully implement the ecosystem-based approach to fishery management, this dissertation investigates important issues within the economics of choice and the economics of displacement. In particular, a discrete choice model of the fishing location decision in the Newport, Oregon bottom trawl groundfish fishery is estimated...
Nearly 80% of solid tumors, such as melanoma, metastasize via the lymphatic system. The most common form of melanoma is BRAF-mutant melanoma, and additional mutations, such as a PTEN mutation in the PI3K pathway, is required for metastases to occur. Standard therapy includes treatment with small molecules dabrafenib (DAB) and...
Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) has a wide distribution in North America and is one of the
tree species most widely distributed outside its natural range. The species has been introduced to
Europe, New Zealand, South America, and elsewhere around the world. At present, Douglas-fir
is an accepted and integral part of...
